* This post is in partnership with al fresco.
I was asked by al fresco chicken to recreate a family favorite using their fully cooked dinner sausage. I decided on a dish inspired by my Ethiopian heritage, Doro Wat. Doro Wat is a spicy Ethiopian stew made with tender cooked chicken in a Berbere spiced sauce topped with boiled eggs. Traditionally, this stew usually takes several hours to cook.
Traditional Doro Wat is served with injera, a sourdough flatbread made with teff flour. This quick and easy recipe gives to the rich taste of Doro Wat in just about 30 minutes. I used their Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage in this recipe. The subtle sweetness of the sausage played well with the spice of the Berbere.
